Design tips for the best result
Clear cards look best when your artwork uses bold color, strong contrast, and intentional whitespace. If your design is minimal, clear plastic can make it feel even more premium.
Use bold typography and avoid ultra-light text for readability.
For QR codes, keep them high contrast and avoid overly small sizes.
If your design includes small text or light colors, consider white ink / white blocking to improve readability on transparent material.
Everyday carry note: Because clear plastic is fully transparent and glossy-looking, it can show light scuffs over time more easily than frosted. If you want the most “always-clean” look for wallets and daily carry, frosted plastic is often the safer option.
They can be if you use low-contrast text. Use bold typography and strong contrast for the cleanest, most readable result. If your design includes small text or light colors, white ink / white blocking can help.
Clear vs frosted—what’s the difference?
Clear is fully transparent, modern, and eye-catching. Frosted has a matte translucent finish that diffuses light, feels more subtle, and tends to hide minor scuffs better for everyday carry.
Are clear plastic cards waterproof?
Yes—PVC plastic cards are waterproof and wipe-clean, making them ideal for everyday use and repeat handling.
